1. "an old and respected college"

"The scrappy, alternative college was founded in 1972 as a place for adult learners and had operated for years out of a North Avenue building that was once a general store." - the cited Globe article.

"Burlington College started in 1972 as the Vermont Institute of Community Involvement.[4] A handful of students met in the living room of founder Dr. Steward LaCasce.[4] It originally served adult learners and veterans."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burlington_College

So not old and respected, instead founded fairly recently and rather offbeat.

2. "This isn't someone coming after Sanders." um yes it is, that is exactly what it is, that was clearly described in the article.
Brady "Toensing, 49, is an attorney and vice chairman of the state Republican Party." "Toensing has made a career of attacking Vermont’s Democratic and Progressive politicians. His targets include the former governor and attorney general. His highest-profile target by far has been the Sanders family."
- again from the Globe article.

Toensing is a James O'Keefe level political operative. The people on this board giving him credence should be ashamed of themselves. It is the equivalent of people supporting the endless attacks on Senator Clinton.
